Weekend Cooking: Pineapple Jalapeño Margaritas

Tonight is our annual Cinco de Mayo bash. I sure wish I could have you all over, but I thought I'd do the next best thing and share the recipe for our signature drink. We mix this up in a sports jug (it's a big group) and then the bartender just has to put them over ice!

2. Pour the puree along with all remaining ingredients, including the 8 cups of ice, into a large jug with a dispenser at the bottom.

3. Serve over ice in a rocks glass and garnish with lime or orange slices, if desired.

Weekend Cooking is open to anyone who has any kind of food-related post to share: Book (novel, nonfiction) reviews, cookbook reviews, movie reviews, recipes, random thoughts, gadgets, fabulous quotations, photographs. If your post is even vaguely foodie, feel free to grab the button and link up anytime over the weekend. Please link to your specific post, not your blog's home page. Thanks to Beth Fish Reads for hosting!

Thanks, everyone. I got the idea from a Bobby Flay recipe that was WAY too complicated! The jalapenos are divided between a lot of drinks, so it's not actually as hot as you would think -- it just has a bit of heat in the finish.

Dawn, if I was going to make it for one, I'd start with 3/4 cup pineapple juice, 1/2-1 shot tequila, 1/2 shot triple sec, 2 tablespoons each simple syrup and lime juice and a slice of jalapeno in the blender!

Thanks, everyone. They are spicy, but not super hot. In fact, you kind of wonder what's going on when you drink them! Let me know if you try them! I'd love a review -- or suggestions to improve 'em for next year :)
